A 10x better phone AI model completely changes what people can build. If it's just 20% better it won't matter at all and they should just oss o3-mini instead. So the specifics matter here.

Tiny AI Models Need Quantum Leaps Not Incremental Gains

no point in doing it if it's the 101st tiny dumb model, it needs to be the 1st tiny smart model

id want to see a great small base model. i don't think distilling alone will yield something a few multiples better than what's out there today

O3-Mini distillation challenges depend on student model architecture

a distillation being good will still depend on the student model architecture. not convinced distilling o3-mini to existing models will yield anything significantly better than what's out there today

Open-source o3-mini models and small local AI advancement

Phone model. Here's why: 1. An o3-mini-level oss model is short-term inevitable. It will happen from somewhere, and it will happen soon. 2. Small local models still have a long way to go. A truly great <8B model will unlock many new uses: edge devices, small projects, etc.
